Tis the night before Sunday, and all through the house,
Not a creature is stirring, not even the mouse
Papa with his football game, and Nanny at her screen,
Both faces are a sickly shade of green.
The dogs in their doggy pile, making Papa smile,
Help us relax, if only for awhile.
Now the dishes are dry and the clothes are all wet.
I'm so glad for machines, on that you can bet!
It's time to do the shuffle, cause the house is a wreck,
But then I'm all tired, so oh what the heck!
We saw our little bundle of heaven today. All snuggled in her tiny bassinet. She looked really good, or at least as good as you can look with all the tubes running all over. I hear she is a chip off the proverbial block. Pulls tubes out whenever she gets a chance. After the visit I decided to buy shares in 3M company, I hear they make all the tape they're using. you know for a college fund for the grand kids, or . . . a vacation for us?
She was sleeping so peacefully when we were there, but is needing some morphine for the pain now. I think back to surgeries I have had and it just about breaks my heart that she has to experience that kind of pain. I sure pray that she will heal quickly and be able to get on to the normal duties of a tiny newborn who gets cuter and sweeter everyday!
The boys are sure being little troopers. It isn't easy to have your life turned upside down, but they are hanging in there and showing their resiliency as they bounce back after a melt-down. They're pretty excited to check out the new big bed in the room we have been finishing. guess we better get it moved in before they come back over to sleep the next time, huh?
All, in all, life is good. A little nerve wracking, but good. We were promised that this life would not be easy, but it would be worth it. I am so thankful for the gospel and the understanding it gives us. I am so thankful to know that my Heavenly Father is always there, waiting to bless us. I am so thankful for the priesthood and that our family can be blessed by the Savior's power to heal.

So glad to hear that she is doing so well as are the rest of you!
Oh I am so sorry to hear your family is going through that. I haven't been on my blog because of my own issues so I just updated myself. But I am so grateful for modern medicine so they could take care of her, and for pain medicine that that little baby can be spared from most of what she has been forced to endure at her tiny age. What a fighter she is!! I can imagine what a strong person she will become. :)
I am so glad that she is not old enough to remember the pain she is going through right now. I know it is hard now, but at least she is little enough to not have to look back on it and remember how much she hurt. It will be enough that we can all remember that...but it will also help us be so grateful of how she is doing now.
